The Coles 4104 lip mic is of BBC design and has a proven reliable performance capability. This microphone is generally regarded as the leader in its field for wherever it is essential to single out a speaker's voice without transmitting background noise.
The 4104 is not unduly affected by wind noise and can be used in air stream velocities up to 20 mph (32 km) without notable difference in speech quality. With the use of a simple windshield attachment good quality speech reproduction can also be achieved in winds ranging up to 40 mph (64 km) or more. Importantly the polar response is effectively bi-directional allowing one or more commentators to make clear individual commentary close side by side without interference from mutual cross over talk. |
